Windows key new comp

I am going to be upgrading to a new computer soon and i am re using the hardive with windows installed in it. I was wondering if there would be any complications with moving it to a completely new pc.

Usually Windows will have issues without a clean install. The Windows registry has the configuration of the hardware it was installed-on stored. You then attempt to use it with different hardware. Usually there are BSOD, slowness, missing device, etc. You should do a clean OS install with a new motherboard.
